Total Hit

I was wondering something. I often see players hitting 10 k or more with hollow ammo, and between 70 k and +/- 100 k with elite ammo. Which items can influence your total hit and how can you reach such totals as I mentioned?

 

Skills in critical hits in basics, explosive alchemy, ogun's wrath, fist of ogun and agwa's aim. Level 6 castles in: astrolab, gunpowder flask, manual naval tactics, cannon storage and unleashed powers. All decks upgraded 3 times, plus the kings's ivory ebony mojo and queen's allow up to 287 cannons on board. the type of cannons you use, admirals for farming level 5 60's and voodoo cannons for fighting, 12k crits can be achieved easily with either. Polished muzzle, hailstorms and other event bonuses. Also your bonus maps give damage bonuses, virgo 5% capri 5% sagi 5% and cancer 7%. Also the type of ammo they use will affect their hits, hollows, 12k is the max without the use of lost love and such and voodoo cannons will do a lot more with voodoo ammo, also 60's do a better base hit on elite ammo, soccer ammo does double damage where 130k is around the max hit, also heartbreaker on towers is the same but around 20% lower hits than soccer compared to the champion ships. hope all that helps mate, lol.
EDIT: forgot to mention the type of ship you have too, the max atm is 18% damage buff from a bokor's won skin.

Heya,

He absolutely covered most if not all of the topics! One thing I would add is to build your boat in steps. One thing I can say though is that you absolutely should start prioritizing. For example some areas will greatly increase your damage either PVP or PVE

Just to start you out, I would recommend taking a look at your cannons. Obviously they will be the greatest damage change for you. For example if you are looking to get elite levels, try Admiral Cannons, as they will give you elite points even when you are using Hollow (gold bought) cannon balls. In addition they are the cannon that does the most damage with Hollow or GOLD bought cannon balls.

On the other hand, the people you see doing tons of damage with elite cannon balls are most likely using Voodoo cannons, or level 5 60 pound cannons. The voodoo cannons are a bit tricky to COMPLETELY wrap your head around, because they source their damage from more than just the cannon balls you are shooting.

Anyhow, start prioritizing you build, you will find that if you target items that give you "the most bang for your buck" then you will see your damage increase at a fast rate (at least at the start!).

If you need any help with finding out which items you should put before others I would be happy to go through WHAT I FIND important and help you out as much as I can!

 

Ahoy mate,

You fellow pirates are all correct! We have also coded an estimator to help you see what you can be possibly doing. You can find that calculator here:

We will be updating to fit the new transmogrification system and the recent damage updates as well. Please keep in mind, it is slightly out of date and is an estimator
